The “Morning Papers” Cancelled

The last copy of the “Dilis Gazxeti” (“Morning Papers”) was issued on July 2, 2004. According to the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, Manana Kartozia, the newspaper has not gone bankrupt, but temporarily stopped working. She explained the reasons for the cancellation of the paper. She said that the paper became non-profitable as subscribers refused to subscribe to the newspaper.

Governmental organizations, being the main subscribers of the “Morning Papers,” prefer to keep debts for two years. The parliament is among them, according to Kartozia. She also mentioned that a major part of the population, especially business people, bankers and officials prefer to use on-line versions of the newspaper which caused the drop in circulation of the printed newspaper.
